You know about Giants closer  Brian Wilson beard. You love Fear the Beard Giants. But you’ve never seen it quite like you will in a new SportsCenter ad starring Wilson…and that’s a good thing.
The ad, of course, begins like most SportsCenter ads, in which a well-known athlete just happens to be hanging around the office in full uniform (and, in Wilson’s case, sporting some very interesting footwear as well). However, the anchors with whom Wilson was chatting, Jay Harris and Josh Elliott, weren’t quite impressed enough with Wilson’s famous facial hair. And so he went about correcting the error of their ways:

Finally Baseball has arrived

Here are some fun facts from the opening day of the 2011 baseball season to impress your friends (if your friends are really into baseball or just easily impressed):
The first pitch of the season was a called strike from Washington's Livan Hernandez to Atlanta's Martin Prado at 10:11 a.m. PDT at Nationals Park.
The Yankees' CC Sabathia fanned Detroit leadoff hitter Austin Jackson for the first strikeout of the year.
Atlanta's Chipper Jones smashed a two-out double to deep right in the first inning for the first hit of the season, then scored 2011's intitial run on a single by the next batter, Brian McCann.
A second-inning solo shot by Atlanta's Jason Heyward off of Hernandez was the first home run of the year.  How I love baseball but here is the thing I will continue to dislike the Yankees and the Red Sox, and yes the Yankees did beat my good Ol Tigers but there is obviously many more baseball games yet to be played.  I sure do hope that the Tigers make the playoffs and possibly win the World Series, Either way lets Play Ball!

Clemens still says he is inocent and guess what? Im still a fan of the Rocket

Roger Clemens continued to assert his innocence regarding performance-enhancing drug use during an interview at the Houston Open golf tournament, where he is serving as a caddie for PGA Tour player Ryan Palmer in Wednesday's pro-am event.
"We've had to take it on the chin a little bit, but we'll have our chance to talk," Clemens told ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike in the Morning."
The former Red Sox, Yankees and Astros star has been charged with lying to Congress about his use of PEDs. His trial is set to start in July, but Clemens said he doesn't plan to go into hiding until then.
"We don't like it. But I'm not going to run around and hang my head. I'm going to be the person I've always been," he said.
The seven-time Cy Young Award-winner said he has not been following the Barry Bonds trial because, "I've been busy."
Clemens also touched on the Hall of Fame, noting that election is out of his control.
"It's not the first thing that's on my plate right now. It's not something I'm looking at where it's going to be a big deal," he said. "I love the Hall of Fame, I love everything about it. They've got some memorabilia of mine there now. I'm still going to go and visit it."

http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/2189991/clemens-well-finally-get-our-say

Here is my take don't you think that congress has anything better to do? Roger just like Bonds is out of Baseball I don't really care if he did or did not do ped's the things he did on the mound are just remarkable.  He will to me go down as one of the greatest pitchers of all time PERIOD.  Let me ask you as the reader if you had the opportunity to do a drug and make a ton of money to put on your table for food for you family would you do it? If you say no then your lying regardless of this being a Sport everyone and anyone does some sort of enhancement to their body or behavior to help them out in any certain way to gain a certain edge on other individuals.  So before you start blaming a ball player over his decisions to be better at what he does you need to check yourself First.

Weekend in Review

This weekend I had the opportunity to go to Utah Jazz basketball game.  This is my first NBA game not truly knowing what to expect.  I had no drinks yet I did have a Papa Johns Pizza.  The pizza overall was your typical sporting event food nothing special.  The thing about the this sporting event that struck me was the cost of souviners being a huge baseball fan I have seen the high's and lows to prices.  I was astonished at the cost of a t-shirt only 5 dollars to 10 dollars Wow! being a sports fan this is by far the most reasonable prices I have seen yet to date.  Another thing that I found exciting was the fact that on walls in the hall wall at the Energy Solution Arena they put up the game on the wall so while your not actually watching the game from the court you still have the ability to watch the game.  Being a broke radio producer in Boise, Idaho I sat in the noise bleeds expecting not to see nothing but dots on the court yet I was very impressed I was from the second row from the top yet I was able to see the whole court and more.  Overall experience 8 I would love to go to other courts in the NBA to see how they entertain their fans.  Below is the Video from this event this will be first of many flip camera interviews Tell me what you think.

Another Twitter Scandel on the Rise

Tennessee pulled a Scott Boras regarding the hiring of its new basketball coach. The Vols, who fired Bruce Pearl shortly after the team was blitzed in the first round of the NCAA tournament, released a statement announcing the hiring of former Purdue player Cuonzo Martin as its new head coach minutes after Kentucky beat North Carolina Sunday. Martin, who actually had a worse record in his three years at Missouri State than Barry Hinson did in his last three years on the job, had his hiring received with much disappointment from Vols fans.

The strongest reaction of all however came from Steven Pearl on twitter:
 

  Steven is the former coach’s son and he has defended his father vigorously against criticism he’s received for committing NCAA violations. Steven played for the Vols and just completed his final year of eligibility with the team so he doesn’t have to worry about getting along with the new coach. Sadly, he wants Martin to fail in order to make his father look better. Clearly he’s not planning on returning for alumni functions anytime soon. 

I wonder what Crow really tastes like!

The VCU Rams, despite the protesting of Jay Bilas and Dick Vitale, are showing they deserved their spot in the NCAA Tournament, after upsetting the No.1 ranked Kansas Jayhawks en route to their first ever Final Four appearance. So why not blow a couple of grand on this banner of Dickie V eating a little crow?
Me, I like it, but only because I can’t stand Vitale and his antics.  Plus, VCU’s story is a great one, and now that they’ve made it this far, no one would be surprised to see them win it all.
On the other hand, $2000 is a lot just to say “f–k you,” albeit in a much more polite way, to Dick Vitale, all because of this one rant…

I'm betting right now that this guy will be a college football bust!!!

According to the Charleston Post & Courier‘s Travis Haney, South Carolina signee Jadeveon Clowney was frisked by Columbia police sometime after 2 a.m. ET outside of a bar called the Salty Nut.  Haney writes that a “witness at the scene said Clowney was not detained and the cause of the search wasn’t immediately discernible.”
As of the time of this posting, no police report has been filed regarding the incident.  That’s assuming, of course, there was even an incident on which a report needed filed.
I ask the question  your under age, you already have academic questions then what are you doing at drinking establishment an hour from home at two o'clock in the morning on a Thursday Night.  You don't know how bad I wished I could redu my college career and start over because I know if I could have redone my athletic career this type of situations would not happen to me.  Spring break or not, Clowney didn’t exactly put himself in the most optimum position to begin with; the picture of him being frisked by men with badges just cemented that fact.  I guess time will only tell as to what will happen with Mr. Clowney

What is Bonds thinking if it was written down

 According to reports, Barry Bonds didn't simply sit through the federal perjury trial testimony of his childhood friend and former business partner Steve Hoskins on Wednesday -- the former baseball slugger and alleged steroid user sat and took copious notes. My question is what do you think was on Barry Bonds Legal pad as he sat in that court room? well here might be his answers below

To Sexy For TV What Joke

If a sexy video game ad isn't suitable for TV, then that probably means Internet geeks will eat it up.  Tennis pro Serena Williams filmed a rather racy commercial for 2L Sports new Top Spin 4 game that was deemed too sexy for TV.  Are you kidding me this just just stupid Tennis doesn't get not love to begin with and then to say its to sexy is just plain stupid.  No one says anything about the Sexy women in Budweiser commercials but when a tennis star shows a little skin people are in a up roar.  Come on people grow a pair and move on.   Below is the commerical tell me what you think?

Great Moments in History Even Greater With Gus Johnson Calling Them

You can never have too much Gus Johnson in your life.  Whether he’s calling college basketball, the NFL, or a bulldog humping the crap out of a teddy bear, his exuberant play-calling is genuine and infectious.

Oh my goodness this is just to funny Good for him

Fans of the NFL are no doubt upset over the NFL's current labor situation, but perhaps none more than Ken Lanci, who's decided to take his frustration on the league out in court.  Lanci is a local Cleveland businessman who owns 10 personal seating licenses.  He's suing the league because he feels the labor dispute is violating his rights as a Cleveland Browns season ticket holder. 

I'm anxious to see how Lanci is going to prove that the Browns, the league and the rest of the teams are purposedly staging the labor dispute to spite fans and season ticket holders.

From where I sit, the NFL doesnt care one bit about what the fans want. check the full article below:

Curtis Granderson is a funny man

Curtis Granderson is one of my favorite players it just would have been nice if would have stayed in a Tiger Uniform.  Curtis is a class act as well donates a ton of his money to charity and also helps out local area children on reading and writing.  He is what baseball needs in the video below you will see a funny side of Curtis Granderson that needs to be noticed. 

A New Era at Texas Tech

Here is thing Billy Gillispie is a good coach yes he had 2 horrible seasons at Kentucky where basketball is God.  Yet I do believe that this coach still has plenty of years of left in him.  Yes he has had a drinking problem. 

"He's a West Texas native," Hocutt said. "He's no stranger. This is coming home to him.  With all of the Head Basketball Coaching Vacanices this is by far the best fit for a coach.  I beleive Billy will be bringing great things to Texas Tech but I guess will just have to sit back and wait and see.

Lawerence Taylor in hot water again...

The 52-year-old ex-linebacker pleaded guilty in January to sexual misconduct and patronizing the then-16-year-old runaway in May 2010 at the Holiday Inn in Montebello. Under the deal, Taylor doesn't get jail time, but has been hit with a $1,400 fine. He also has to register as a sex offender.
State Supreme Court Justice William A. Kelly will hold a risk assesment hearing on April 12 to determine which sex-offender level to assign to Taylor.
Sex offenders are labeled Level 1, 2 or 3 for low, medium or high risk. A state spokesman says the most obvious difference is that Level 1 offenders do not have their names and photos posted on a public Internet site.
Kelly has indicated that Taylor will be able to see his grandchildren and continue charity activities where he comes into contact with youth. 

Is the UFL a replacement for the Lockout in the NFL?

 Jerry Glanville has signed on to be the team's Head Coach and General Manager in 2011. The team introduced Glanville Monday. "I am already fired up by the excitement of coaching new players in a new city," Glanville said.

As Head Coach of the Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons, Glanville would leave two tickets at will call each game for Elvis. The tickets, as you would assume, were never picked up. Glanville spent two decade in the NFL until he moved over to broadcasting and then back to coaching college football until 2009.

"We have brought a proven winner and a colorful person to Hartford and he is certain to excite and entertain our fans," said Colonials owner Bill Mayer. "His enthusiasm not only for the game, but also for what we are trying to achieve in Hartford and with the UFL is infectious."  Here is the thing this a league that has potential but with the state of the United States economy this league compared to the NFL is the little sister of the poor.  According to espn.com The UFL lost nearly $80 million in its first two seasons of existence. As of a few weeks ago, the league still owed creditors roughly $5 million, raising questions about the league's viability in 2011.

"Oh, we're going to have a third season," Glanville insisted. "I can assure you of that."
For Glanville, another opportunity to coach was irresistible. click here for more http://sports.espn.go.com/extra/ufl/news/story?id=6241713&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines  Also to consider with the lockout in the NFL could this league prosper in the mainstream.  Thinking about it for this league to prosper it needs to have the NFL continue to have a lockout and for them to have main media behind them or they will struggle just like the XFL did in the early 2000's because when the XFL was established the mainstream media mocked it and never received attention as most traditional sports do.  The second thing is this league needs a true tv market and I think as long the NFL continues to lockout then there is a small chance.

THIS Team is LEGIT VCU Goes Full Charlie Sheen on Their Athletics Homepage

First they took down USC to make it to the field of 64 in their play-in game.  Then they dropped No.6 Georgetown 74-56 for the right to play No.3 Purdue on Sunday.  Not too shabby for a VCU team many thought had no right being in the tournament to begin with.

But there they are, and I’m sure they’re feeling pretty damn good about right now.  How good?  Charlie Sheen good, minus the incoherent rambling and erratic behavior.  Hence the Sheen-inspired #WINNING hashtag incorporated on the VCU Athletics homepage.
I wonder if there’s anything in the NCAA rulebook about capitalizing on a hot mess of a celebrity’s craziness?  Let’s hope not.

Another Edition of Hawks Nest Exclusive Interview

Damon Waynes Lands Role in Colin Cowheard New Show on CBS

Back in November word got out that CBS was developing a half- hour comedy  based on the life of ESPN radio host, and all around windbag, Colin Cowherd.  Once the collective sounds of groaning and retching ceased, the question on everyone’s mind was…why?
Why indeed.
That question will remain unanswered until life no longer exists on this planet.  However, one question surrounding this sure to be awful television show is who will play the lead role—you know, the one based on the man, his job, his life, and his relationships.
If you guessed comedian/actor Damon Wayans, well then step forward and collect your new set of steak knives because you sir, are correct…and most likely a clairvoyant witch.
Talk about your casting against type.
Wayans, besides being one of the famous Wayans brothers comedy team, is best known for such films as Bulletproof, Major Payne, and I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, and for his television comedy series My Wife and Kids.  Cowherd is known for being obnoxious, opinionated, and downright polarizing.  But you already knew that.
So, can a funny and talented black guy play a controversial and over-the-top white sports radio host?  Of course he can—what a stupid question.  It’s not like the producers hired a chainsaw juggling panda for the lead role or anything.  But will it be successful?  Seeing that Hollywood has completely run out of ideas and creativity, probably not.
Unless they can somehow work that chainsaw juggling panda into the show…then they might have something there. 
I remember back in the day I watched the "In Loving Color" I thought it was one of the funniest shows on tv.  The problem that I see is the fact is both of these individuals are completely on different sides of the comedy spectrum.  Yes the past couple of years Colin has stepped us game in his show "Sports Nation" overall though he isn't a funny guy.  He is very arrogant pompous jackass.  But I guess will see but hey if they possible do a bit on the video clip below I will possibly watch. 

I guess the NCAA Tourney could be dangerous

Usually all reporters have to worry about while doing an on-scene live report is some drunken a-hole mugging for the camera in the background, or at worst, that same drunk getting all up in their face while trying to do their thing on live TV.
Ben Higgins, sports director for ABC 10News in San Diego, had to deal with a situation that was much more dangerous than some drunken jerkass.  Shortly after launching into his expert recap on the San Diego Aztecs first ever win in the NCAA tournament in school history, a white SUV, which may or may not have been driven by Al Cowlings, began backing up…and backing up…and backing up…nearly turning our intrepid reporter into well-dressed roadkill.
Lucky for Higgins his camera operator, Jeff Lavallee (?), saved the day with his quick thinking and even quicker hands.

Rick Pitino and Louisville just plain sucked

Right about now Rick Pitino is saying to himself, “Self, how did my team lose to a college that sounds more like a porno movie than a school?”  The answer is quite simple Rock, your team underestimated their opponent.  Morehead State came out of the gate and played aggressive and weren’t intimated by the name Louisville on their opponents jersey; that how upsets happen, along with poor foul shooting, which is always a battle that if you win, you win, plain and simple. 

Louisville only shot 43.8% (7-16) from the line.  That’s not going to win games unless you out rebound and shoot out of your mind from the line.  That’s not going to win games unless you out rebound and shoot out of your mind from three-point range, by the way these were both battles that Morehead State won.  This game was typical NCAA Tournament game that was filled with roller coaster rides for both teams, only to come to a screeching halt for Louisville by a Demonte Harper three-point shot at the end, which left Louisville fans and those who picked Louisville on their office pool to deep in the tournament, stunned… very stunned one of those people is myself.  To me personally this is just embarrassing and bad basketball period. 

My March Madness Bracket

http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=3479965&print=true


Its that time of year where College Basketball Comes alive and makes it you feel glued to the tv and hopefully your bracket hasn't failed you.  Either way this has to be one of the best times of the year.

Ah March Madness is upon us

With March Madness upon us we need to sit back and reflect thru the previous years with Lego's I especially like 2010 March Madness and the brick at the buzzer classic or even the Great "Fab 5" and the famous timeout.  I love this time of the month its exciting gut wrenching everything that a sports fan wants and love

 

Chad Ocho Cino at his best

You know I'm not a huge fan of Ocho Cino but with NFL Lockout looming over heads I do think his next publicity stunt is simply amazing ever short on publicity-grabbing ideas, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver is set for a four-day tryout with Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer starting Tuesday.
The club said Wednesday that after the tryout, it would determine whether to extend the trial period.
"We're always searching for players who can help our team and bringing in new talent," Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said. "We know that Chad is an exceptional athlete and that he loves the sport of soccer, and he did play a lot when he was younger. We're excited to see how his skills will translate once he arrives next week and begins training with our team."

Ochocinco started playing soccer at age 4 but chose to focus on football in high school.
"Due to the NFL lockout, I'm excited to be able to follow my childhood dream of playing for a Major League Soccer team," Ochocinco said.

The reality TV star is friends with such big names in soccer as Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho. In January, Ochocinco visited Ronaldo, Kaka and the rest of Real Madrid's squad and was introduced to manager Jose Mourinho.

He has said he uses a soccer ball to warm up for NFL practices and games.
Sporting Kansas City, which changed its name from the Wizards in conjunction with moving into a new stadium, opens its MLS season Saturday. It narrowly missed the playoffs last year.
Ochocinco was also in the news for a very different reason Wednesday.
Hamilton County Municipal Judge Bernie Bouchard ordered him to pay Exclusive Wear $11,717 for clothing the Cincinnati store said the player never paid for.

Obama NCAA March Madness Pics are offically in

President Obama may be a Democrat but his choices of teams to make the Final Four  of the NCAA Basketball tournment  are decidedly conservative.

Obama, a recreational basketball player himself, chose all the No. 1 seeds -- Kansas, Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Duke to make it to the Final Four of the tournament in Houston.

The president unveiled on Wednesday his March Madness bracket to ESPN basketball analyst Andy Katz at the White House, showing off a detailed knowledge of coaches, star players and team strategy.

Again this year he chose Kansas to win it all, even though he admitted the Jayhawks had let him down in 2010.

"I picked Kansas last year to win it and I got hurt," Obama said of the Jayhawks, who lost to lowly Northern Iowa in the second round of the tournament last year.

"But I am looking at those twins, the Morris brothers. I think they (Kansas) have depth, they have experience," Obama said.

Kansas is led by twins Marcus and Markieff Morris who between them average 30.9 points a game, 15.4 rebounds and 59 percent shooting from the field.

He picked the nation's No. 1 rated team, Ohio State, to make it to the championship game with Kansas.

"Ohio State looks terrific. That young guy in the middle knows how to play," Obama said of Buckeye big man Jared Sullinger.

Obama said he wanted to get back in the good graces of legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzeski by also picking the Blue Devils to make the Final Four.

"Last year I did not pick Duke and coach K gave me a hard time. So I'm going with Duke," Obama said.

Despite all the international and domestic problems he juggles, Obama seemed perfectly comfortable talking basketball with an expert. He described BYU deadeye shooter Jimmer Fredette as a "great talent" and Connecticut's Kemba Walker as ready for the professional ranks.

ESPN, which will broadcast more than 60 March Madness games, promoted the Obama bracket on the network and on its website, calling it "Baracketology."

Obama is an avid basketball player, who last year had to get 12 stitches in his lip after he took an elbow to the face during a pickup game.

Mike Tyson Has the Cure For Your Angry Birds Addiction

Seems like Mike Tyson is everywhere these days, and that’s good because I think he needs the income.  If he’s not sitting down for a little Oscar chat with Leonard Maltin, he’s helping cure your addiction to the crystal meth of apps, Rovio’s Angry Birds, in the only way best suited to Iron Mike—with frightening violence and impeccable comedic timing.
The only drawback to this video—the voice over talent is none other than ESPN blowhard Colin Cowherd.  But hey, like The Facts of Life theme song taught us, ya gotta take the good with the bad.
Enjoy.

Every now and then I will post up interview that I have done.  This weeks interview is with Boise States Starting Quaterback Kellen Moore.  Kellen talks about moving forward with spring ball and how feels about losing QB Coach Bryan Harsin This should be an exciting year for Boise State, though they have lost their deep threat WR, but with Kellen behind center they will probably still be a threat heading into the Mountain West.  Below is the video enjoy the interview

Morbidly Creepy eBay Item of the Week: The Dale Earnhardt Hearse

I understand that Nascar fans are crazy.  I know that they will paint up their own vehciles to look like their favorite driver but to me this is starting to cross the line between a bit nutty don't you think but even most die-hards would have to say that this eBay auction for the hearse that transported Dale Earnhardt to his final resting place is a bit too much.
Or maybe they won’t.  I’m sure there’s more than a couple fans of “The Intimidator” out there who would kill to get their greasy hands on this truly unique piece of Dale Earnhardt memorabilia, despite it’s hefty $1.5 million price tag.  That’s just slightly more than it’s sale price of $8,800, which is what former owner Bill McKeithan sold it for on Craigslist just a few weeks ago.

This is just terrible officating

Alright so I'm not a Big East fan but I must admit this has to some of the worst officiating to end a basketball game in a long time.  With the score, 65-63, and 4.9 seconds left, Rutgers took the ball out under St. John’s basket. Its strategy was to throw a three-quarters-court pass to its big man, 6-foot-8 Gilvydas Biruta, awaiting above the opposite 3-point arc. Biruta tried to pass or direct the ball to his teammate Jonathan Mitchell on the wing, but Brownlee got hold of it, then dribbled to the sideline, and appeared to travel and certainly stepped out of bounds before flinging the ball upward in celebration.
The horn sounded, the score was final, and the referees hustled off the court.

Jim Tressel Liar Liar Pants on Fire

  Jim Tressel lied.
 And nobody cares.

He proclaimed ignorance when his Ohio State superiors approached him in December regarding some of his star football players potentially violating NCAA rules. Now the coach embarrassingly concedes that he made “a mistake.” He admits he should have notified the university when he first learned of the situation last April, but -- try to keep a straight face when reading this -- he didn’t know to whom he should pass the information.

Jim Tressel cheated.
And nobody cares.

He blatantly violated the language in his contract that demands - not asks, not suggests, DEMANDS -- that he immediately report any suspicions of NCAA transgressions or risk dismissal. It certainly appears that Tressel’s silence was motivated more by ensuring that the Buckeyes fielded a team capable of winning the national championship last season than anything else.
Finally, there’s a loose strand on the Sweater Vest. Keep pulling at it, and it will unravel. But the NCAA doesn’t have the stomach to expose Tressel’s football evangelism for the hypocritical sham it is. If the NCAA doesn’t demand a full and thorough examination of every fiber of the Buckeyes’ program in the aftermath of Tuesday’s half-hearted mea culpa, it should forever remove the term “compliance” from its rules code.

Bob Knight at his best

You can dress him up and stick him in front of a camera, but that doesn’t mean Bobby Knight will tone it down.  He’s been behaving himself for the most part, but every once in a while he lets fly a patented Knight, umm, euphemism.
Today on ESPN College Gameday, viewers were treated to one of those special Bobby Knight moments, when he responded to Digger Phelps’ “defense wins” comment with his own, much more colorful, response.
Digger Phelps: “defense wins.”
Bob Knight: “the chicken shit defense.”
Must send thanks to ESPN for refusing to use an 8-second tape delay.  If they did, we wouldn’t have been privy to a classic Knight moment.

There realisticly is only 1 big three and their in Boston

I'm not a fan of the Miami Heat.  I look at them and feel that their team has no chemistry.  There a team that has more talent in their finger tips than I have in my entire body, but here is the thing the difference between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat is their big three have egos but they can focus as a unite and win games as a team.  Over past week  the Miami Heat blew an 18-point lead at halftime, eventually losing to the Orlando Magic 99-96 this past Thursday night.  An 18-2 run to start the 3rd quarter by Orlando, coupled with Miami’s big three going ice cold in the fourth quarter sealed the deal.  Seems to me that the Heat need to work on closing out games.

Another facet of their game Miami needs to work on?  Passing, especially one LeBron James.
James did his part in the Heat’s loss, scoring zero of his 29 points in the fourth quarter, but it was his superb passing that really stood out.  Like this bounce pass off teammate Chris Bosh’s oddly shaped cranium.
LeBron nails Bosh square in the face while trying to throw a pass to Erick Dampier, who was waiting underneath the basket.  Seeing that Bosh dropped like a bag of dirt from a phantom Boozer Elbow, it was rather refreshing that he stayed on his feet this time.

NCAA going to be pointing the finger back at you Chip Kelly

Who among us doesn’t want the Oregon compliance department to do our tax returns?
Those people will find loopholes that haven’t been conceived by the Big Six accounting firms.
Oregon maintains the school’s payment of $25,000 to Complete Scouting Services of Houston was run through compliance and OK’d. As Yahoo! Sports reports, Lyles has a “mentoring relationship” with running back Lache Seastrunk, who now plays for the Ducks.
As you might imagine, roughly 25 years of covering college basketball has led me to friendships and acquaintances with a lot of people who run scouting services.
One guy I know, who is quite capable and has nearly 15 years experience as a scout, charges $500 for his service. He appeared to be doing well with this endeavor, but now it is quite obvious he is a terrible businessman, because somebody else out there—admittedly in another sport, so maybe that’s the difference—is getting $25K for his work.
Oregon’s statement declared, “This is no different than services purchased by a number of colleges and universities throughout the country.”
I wonder how my friend feels today. There’s somebody out there who’s 50 times better at his job. And it’s official.

This has to be the biggest dick move ever....

You can see from looking at the scoreboard what exactly was going on—game tied at 61 between Concordia University and the College of Idaho, 0.7 seconds left on the clock, with the winner securing a berth in the NAIA National Tournament in Sioux City, Iowa.
Heady stuff to say the least.
With such little time on the clock, Concordia forward Danielle Clauson was stationed underneath the Idaho basket, ready to inbounds the ball in the hopes that one of her teammates could get off a last second prayer of a shot.  That was her plan at first, before she decided to win the game herself with a tremendous trick play that was as much risk as it was reward.
Clauson pulled off the old “inbounds pass off the defender’s back” play to perfection, bouncing the ball of the Idaho player’s backside before putting up the 10-foot jumper for the winner.

The ensuing bedlam seems only appropriate.
